Born at Bothawui in the mountain clan Ilya not far from the Rhyde'Vak ocean. Born as an only whelp, which was unusual for a Bothan family. He was already very curious at a young age, always trying to learn new things. Secrecy, deceit, spycraft, cleverness and honesty was taught him to use as tools by his parents and teachers inside the Clan. Like all Bothans he was taught the Bothan Way and learned to write and read in his own language (Bothese/Bothan)and Basic. He was trained to expand his reasoning abilities and how to think rationally, emotionally, laterally and (il)logically from birth, for the Bothan species prize the abilities of the mind above else.
